Product details
Overview
PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP from Microchip Technology is a 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor with four 600 MHz RV64GC application cores (U54), one 600 MHz RV64IMAC monitor core (E51), integrated 2 MB L2 memory subsystem with SECDED, dual CAN 2.0 interfaces, and PCIe Gen 2 x1 root port - designed for Linux-capable embedded compute in industrial gateways and secure edge controllers.
For engineers reviewing the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP datasheet, PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP pinout, PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP application, or PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP equivalent, this page delivers verified core architecture, DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller specs, security features including dual PUF and sNVM, and package-specific thermal and power operating conditions.
Technical Context
The PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP implements a coherent multi-core RISC-V cluster with five CPU cores: four U54 application cores supporting SV39 virtual memory, PMP, and MMU, plus one E51 monitor core running bare-metal boot firmware. All cores share a cache-coherent AXI switch interconnect and access a unified 2 MB L2 subsystem configurable as cache, Loosely Integrated Memory (LIM), or Coherent Scratchpad Memory.
Its I/O subsystem integrates two Gigabit Ethernet MACs, HDMI 1.4, MIPI CSI-2, USB 2.0 OTG, five multi-mode UARTs, two CAN 2.0 controllers, and a 16-bit DDR4/LPDDR4 memory controller - all managed under AMBA QoS arbitration and hardware-enforced memory protection across AXI, AHB, and APB domains.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RISC-V MPU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NXP i.MX 8M Plus | ARM Cortex-A53/A72 cores, no RISC-V ISA, includes NPU but lacks dual PUF and sNVM | Targets AI vision apps where neural inference acceleration is primary; less emphasis on cryptographic root-of-trust | Choose when ARM ecosystem compatibility and NPU offload outweigh RISC-V openness and hardware security depth |
| SiFive U74-MC | Quad U74 RISC-V cores, no integrated DDR controller, no PCIe, no HDMI/MIPI, minimal security IP | Requires companion PMIC, memory PHY, and interface bridges - suitable for custom ASIC-like integration | Choose only for highly customized designs where full silicon control justifies added system complexity and validation effort |
Compared with NXP i.MX 8M Plus and SiFive U74-MC, the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP uniquely combines Linux-capable RISC-V compute, integrated DDR4/LPDDR4, PCIe Gen 2, HDMI/MIPI, and production-grade security (dual PUF, sNVM, tamper detection) in a single FCSG325 package - reducing bill-of-materials count and accelerating time-to-certification for industrial edge devices.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP core supply?
The PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP core supply (VDD) operates at 1.05 V nominal, with a recommended range of 1.02 V to 1.08 V under all conditions. This tight tolerance ensures stable 600 MHz operation across the industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +100 °C), and requires low-noise regulation with ≤30 mV total ripple (DC + AC) measured at the package balls. The PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP does not support dynamic voltage scaling or lower-voltage modes.
Does the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP support DDR4 and LPDDR4 simultaneously?
No, the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP supports either DDR4 or LPDDR4 - not both simultaneously - via its 16-bit memory controller. DDR4 operation uses 1.1 V (±30 mV) on VDDI6 with 1.6 Gbps data rates, while LPDDR4 uses 1.06–1.17 V on the same supply with pseudo-channel mode enabled. Configuration is fixed at boot time through eNVM settings, and the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP does not include runtime memory type switching capability.
How many CAN interfaces does the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP integrate, and what protocol versions are supported?
The PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP integrates two independent CAN controllers compliant with ISO 11898-1:2015, supporting CAN 2.0 A (11-bit ID) and CAN 2.0 B (29-bit ID) frames at bit rates up to 1 Mbps. Neither controller supports CAN FD or higher-layer protocols like CANopen or J1939 in hardware - those require software stack implementation. Both CAN modules are accessible in Linux via socketcan drivers and in bare-metal firmware via register-level peripheral access on the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP.
What security features are implemented in hardware on the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP?
The PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP implements six hardware security features: (1) dual physically unclonable functions (PUF) for key generation, (2) 56 KB secure non-volatile memory (sNVM) with digest integrity checking, (3) Athena F5200 TeraFire Crypto Processor (200 MHz) for AES-256/SHA-256/RSA/ECC, (4) tamper detection circuitry with voltage, temperature, and frequency monitors, (5) Secure Boot with ECDSA signature verification, and (6) Physical Memory Protection (PMP) units per RISC-V core. All are active and verified on the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP without external components.
Is the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP pin-compatible with other PIC64GX variants such as PIC64GX1000-V/FCSP?
Yes, the PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP is pin-compatible with the PIC64GX1000-V/FCSP - both use the identical FCSG325 package (325-ball, 0.5 mm pitch, 11 mm × 11 mm). The 'C' and 'V' suffixes denote commercial vs. extended temperature grade (C: 0 °C to +100 °C; V: –40 °C to +100 °C), with identical electrical specifications, pin mapping, and thermal pad layout. Board designs qualified for PIC64GX1000-V/FCSP can directly substitute PIC64GX1000-C/FCSP without layout changes.
